Fantastic Trip

1.
. ZOOM POWERS OF 10 FROM MICRO TO MACRO COSMOS

2.
This is a trip at high speed, jumping distances by a factor of 10. We’ll start with 10 0 (equivalent to 1 meter), and will increase the size by a factor of 10, or 10 1 (10 meters), 10 2 (10x10 = 100 meters, 10 3 (10x10x10 = 1,000 meters), 10 4 (10x10x10x10 = 10,000 meters), so on, until we reach the limit of our imagination in the direction of the macro cosmos. Later we’ll return, a little faster, back to the point where we started & continue our trip in the opposite direction reducing distances of travel by factors of 10 into the micro cosmos. We will observe the constancy of the laws of the universe and think about how much the human race still needs to learn...

26.
At this tremendous distance we can see the entire Via-Láctea (Milky Way) & other galáxies as well ... 10 22 1 Millión light-years

27.
From this distance, all the galaxies look small with immense empty spaces in between. The same laws are ruling all bodies of the Universe. We could continue traveling upwards with our imagination, but now let’s return home quickly 10 23 - 10 Million light-years

60.
It appears like clouds of electrons... These are carbon átoms that formed our world. You should notice the resemblance of the micro cosmos with the macro cosmos ... 10 -10 1 Angstrom

61.
In this miniature world we could observe the electrons orbiting the atoms. 10 -11 10 Picometers

62.
An immense empty space between the nucleus and the electron orbits... 10 -12 1 Picómeter

63.
At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nucleus of the atom. 10 -13 100 Femtómeters

64.
Now we could observe the nucleus of the carbon atom 10 -14 10 Femtómeters

65.
Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face to face with a proton. 10 -15 1 Femtómeter

66.
Examine the ‘quark’ partícules There is nowhere further to go... We are at the limits of current scientific knowledge . This is the limit of matter... 10 -16 100 Attómeters

67.
And now ... Are you the center of the universe? Are you the special creature of the Creatión? What is behind the limits? Are there any limits? Note that going downwards we could only go to the power of minus 16ª of 10 to reach the (known?) limits of matter... But upwards we went to the power of 23ª of 10 and stopped... But we could have continued our trip subject only to the limits to our imagination!!!! ... then? ... Who says that we are alone in the universe?
